Muppets Most Wanted Super Bowl TV spot has everything you could ask for, including tons of cameos from such stars as Danny Trejo and Tom Hiddleston. In line with the old Muppet film formula, previous human “leads” Jason Segel and Amy Adams are not returning, with the key human roles taken up here by Ricky Gervais, Ty Burrell and Tina Fey. The Muppets director James Bobin has returned for this sequel, as have co-writer Nicholas Stoller and original song composer Bret McKenzie.
- Disney’s Muppets Most Wanted takes the entire Muppets gang on a global tour, selling out grand theaters in some of Europe’s most exciting destinations, including Berlin, Madrid, Dublin and London. But mayhem follows the Muppets overseas, as they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper headed by Constantine—the World’s Number One Criminal and a dead ringer for Kermit the Frog—and his dastardly sidekick Dominic, aka Number Two, portrayed by Ricky Gervais. The film stars Tina Fey as Nadya, a feisty prison guard, and Ty Burrell as Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon.
